Shack To-Hell-U-Ride – Artist: Lucky

This new in”car”nation is an artistic recreation of a Colorado Miners cabin (by day) that appears to be on fire (at night). This art car/shack is made out of found objects, wood and artifacts from the mining era in Telluride, Colorado. The interior space resembles a miners cabin complete with a wrought iron bed, a functioning, historic parlor wood stove , and a vintage icebox. The goal is to inspire people to recycle, learn about the mining era history, and enjoy the coziness of the “shack”. During the day, the Shack offers public transport for the community, accompanied by solar-powered music. At night, colorful LED lighting and the sound system transform the Shack into an inviting mobile lounge. The pyrotechnic special effects on this one-of-a-kind art car are a flaming metal roof and a “chimney” poofer that give the illusion of the shack being on fire.
